Volume Calibration
To calibrate source input volume and inline volume control level:
1.
Connect all speaker and audio source wiring. Connect power to the amplifier.
2.
(If applicable) Set all volume controls to their maximum volume setting.
3.
Set each input level knob to 50% and set the input level for unused channels to
minimum.
4.
Power on the amplifier and the source to be used. Play audio typical of what will be
played in the area. Set the source volume level to half. If the audio becomes distorted,
turn the volume down until audio is clear.
5.
Set the level adjustment for the area to a level where the volume is slightly above
normal listening level. If the audio becomes distorted, experiment with changes to the
source volume and the LEVEL adjustment knob until audio is clear.
6.
Log in to the WebGUI and go to Configuration > Input/Output to fine tune the Gain
settings for each port.
Calibration Setup Tips
Poor Calibration may cause the following issues. Use the tips below to identify and correct
these problems:
Distorted Audio at Normal Volume
If the LEVEL adjustment for a zone is set too high to compensate for low source volume,
distortion can occur in the form of background noise or poor audio quality. This will be heard as
a steady hissing or humming behind music, clipping of signal, or distortion of highs and lows.
To eliminate this issue, re-adjust the volume levels by starting at baseline settings and
re-adjusting the final volume so that a maximum comfortable volume level can be reached
with no distortion while using the source volume or inline control.
Inline Volume “Thump” or Play Source Audio in the Walls
If inline volume thumps or resonate in the walls, the amplifier and source volume levels are set
too high. Inline volume controls should be calibrated so that they are one or two adjustment
levels away from their maximum setting when audio is at the normal listening level. This will
leave one to three settings above normal level for use if a little extra volume is needed.

Adding the ESA-70V2CH-IP to an OvrC Account
Step 1. Connect the IP Device to the Internet
The amplifier must be powered on and connected to a LAN with Internet access to activate
an OvrC connection.
Refer to the manual for installation instructions.
Once the device has been activated, it can be
added to the account, even if the device is not online when added.
Step 2. Log Into OvrC
Create a new account at www.OvrC.com, or log into an existing account.
Step 3. Add the Device
Select “Add a Device” and enter the device’s MAC address and serial number (this information
can be found next to the service tag on the product). If OvrC locates the device, directions to
continue setup will be displayed. If OvrC does not locate the device, confirm, then re-enter the
MAC address and serial number.
